xXMarlboro_ManXx Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Preferably 20 lbs at least less then I am.. Noone over my own weight of 145ish THIS. But I weigh a slender 144.
Storyrider Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I'm attracted to a lot of different body types on men, just nothing super skinny or obese. All these men have attractive bodies, though they are not all the same. http://www.oha.org/kwo/2008/08/images/artalemanakax.jpg Something like this is just hard to stomach http://blog.mrseb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fat_man1.jpg That second picture looks EXACTLY LIKE a friend of mine from HS!!!! He was brilliant with languages and I think he ended up as a linguistics professor in Europe somewhere. I wonder if it is him?? (If so, it does look as though he's put on some weight.)
nddb Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 A pretty face and a great attitude as well as loving/affectionate disposition would go a long way. I'm not brain-washed by the current fixation with weight. It is only one component of the whole package. Consider all the complex factors that can screw up a human being and make a person a bad partner (childhood trauma, past relationship trauma, inability to get over past relationship, immaturity, materialism, compatibility of personality and communication styles, etc), it seems silly to me to have a litmus test for something as superficial as weight. CarrieT: that pix looks great, especially if coupled with a beautiful face. In my eyes, these women are extremely pretty but they are definitely not "ideal BMI" http://www.judgmentofparis.com/vl/valerie52.jpg http://www.judgmentofparis.com/shannon/sh42.jpg

Johnny M Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 This is a continuation of Green's thread on dating overweight women. Guys and gals, what is the overweight limit that you are willing to consider when chosing a partner? Personally, I am ok if she is say 50 lbs over her ideal weight. Why? I think the big picture is important. If she takes good care of herself otherwise - say she has a beautiful face, dresses well, has a great attitude, is loving and makes for a great, loyal partner - I think she's definitely worth it! Guys, lets here it for great women! Well, since you're into looking at the "big picture", consider this. Why are fat people fat? No, seriously. For a very tiny portion of the obese population, it has to do with genetic diseases. For the vast majority, it's about the following personal choices: 1) Gluttonous eating habits 2) Lack of exercise 3) Disregard for personal health 4) Lack of respect for oneself In a sense, fat people are exactly like drug addicts and alcoholics. They are addicted to their careless, lazy, gluttonous lifestyle and lack the willpower to get better. All of this is a long way of saying that overweight people are not only physically unattractive; they also have unattractive personalities.
muse08 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) This is so true. My BFF is physically larger than me, but lighter than I am by 15 pounds or so these days. So true...people just don't realize it. I've learned to stop freaking out over what the scale says, but rather stay healthy and toned. My weight fluctuates within a five to eight pounds range... I've never been skinny or thin(relative i guess), except when I was in grade school,other than that I've always had meat on my bones... Hips and thighs are my thicker areas, but proportioned. I actually like my size, but also like myself about 5 lbs lighter on a good day:). Yet, never had complaints from the menfolk. I tend to date guys who have an athletic build, never chubby guys. However, I would go out with a guy who is a bit heavy, but toned and not sloppy...definitely. Don't prefer skinny guys either... with no muscle tone...naaa. Definitely different strokes for different menFOLKS... Edited January 4, 2010 by muse08
theBrokenMuse Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 All of this is a long way of saying that overweight people are not only physically unattractive; they also have unattractive personalities. Whereas I personally think the tendency to overgeneralize and demonize entire groups of people that are unlike yourself isn't merely unattractive but can be regarded as outright douchebaggery. To suggest that if someone has a negative psychological issue it automatically trumps every positive aspect of their personality is silly. No offense, but if this were the case then NO ONE would have a good personality by those standards as you can find a diagnosis to fit every person you meet.
Els Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 For me I've only had relationships with girls between 5'5" - 5'7", between 119 lbs - 125lbs. And that will always be my target. You do know that this is kinda unhealthy... right? They're bordering on underweight. Some of them may naturally have a lighter frame or crazy metabolism, which is alright, but I can bet you anything that lots of diet pills and unhealthy eating regimens went into the others. Eating right and exercising does NOT provide such height/weight ratios for the average person.
muse08 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Some people are skinny-thin and very unhealthy and you won't know it until they get tired after walking a mile or can't hold their own in the bedroom,etc. So I'm assuming female track stars(sprinters), tennis players,swimmers and some other female athletes are too big for some of you guys hu?

All of this is a long way of saying that overweight people are not only physically unattractive; they also have unattractive personalities. This is a little harsh... but ultimately true. If you ingest more calories than you burn... your body will do the math for you. I'm currently a little chunky 'round the waist. Well, that's nobody's fault but my own. I've been planning to get rid of it..., but haven't, just because it's so cozy to eat a bowl of ice cream in front of the TV. This thread motivated me to finally lose it. In our ridiculously politically correct society, the tendency to make excuses for people has reached such staggering proportions that it apparently blinds us to the fact that we somewhat unnecessarily spend billions of dollars on diabetes and heart disease research ==> for the most part, preventable diseases, disproportionately caused by obesity. We may not know how to cure diabetes, but at least we know that it often happens when you get fat. Some airlines were demonised for their decision to ask obese passengers to buy two seats. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable idea to me. Edited January 4, 2010 by Sam Spade
Imbadwithnames Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I look at it this way: in the end we're all going to look like Yoda, but personality never really changes (except during PMS, at which point I run for the hills anyway). Never really considered weight, but I'd say my threshold is probably about 80 - 100 pounds (I've dated quite a few large girls and I gotta say, they were the most fun girls I've ever dated).
Awesome Username Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Wow, most of the guys on here are loving the underweight girls!
temple Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I generally prefer skinny/lean/average men to muscly/overweight.
EnglishMuffin Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) I find stocky, beefy men sexy. Yep, the typical rugby forward build who can also run 2 miles continuously for 80 minutes. Higher muscle ratio, but easily over the BMI scale. Def. not obese though. For this build, over 6' tall with 200 lb is fine by me. By the way, temple, it is nice to see Bataille's name in your signature He does have an interesting perspective on human sexuality. Edited January 4, 2010 by EnglishMuffin
Yukikazi Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Wow, most of the guys on here are loving the underweight girls! I'm sure for everyone of us that prefers the non chubs.. there is one that does. Everyone has their preference.. noone has the right to get all huffy and bothered if they don't fit a particular persons sense of beauty
JohnP82 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) I like tall and skinny. (No more than 140 pounds at 5'9'') I'm pretty tall and have always been skinny. No one in my family gains weight so I doubt I ever will. Edited January 4, 2010 by JohnP82
LucreziaBorgia Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 My guy is carrying a few extra pounds around the middle, but he is in the middle of getting a thyroid problem fixed so his weight will probably go down. I like my men proportionate to their height, no need for ripped abs and stuff like that. I weigh more than I want to but he likes me the way I am. Lusts after me constantly, I should say. I am built much like Crystal Renn.
shadowplay Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 For me I've only had relationships with girls between 5'5" - 5'7", between 119 lbs - 125lbs. And that will always be my target. 5'5 1/2" and 115-117 lbs. I just barely miss.
alphamale Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 once in a great while i'll meet a larger woman (like 50 lbs overweight) that i'm attracted to for some reason but this is rare and i usuually don't ask them out even though i know they will say yes i've usually been with skinny girls in the past or just a few lbs overweight
Sam Spade Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 5'5 1/2" and 115-117 lbs. I just barely miss. I'd hit that.
shadowplay Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I won't date a guy who is fat. I draw the line at 20-30 lbs overweight. But even then, the extra weight will bother me. My ideal is a man who is tall (6+) and very, very lean (155-180, reliant on his height) but with some muscle tone.
alphamale Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 My ideal is a man who is tall (6+) and very, very lean (155-180, reliant on his height) but with some muscle tone. jesus christ you may as well date a bean pole
shadowplay Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 jesus christ you may as well date a bean pole I don't know what's typical for men above six feet in terms of weight. Those are just estimates for the correct BMI.
